The Michelin Defender 2 is a premium all-season touring tire engineered for drivers of passenger cars, crossovers, SUVs, and minivans who demand exceptional tread life combined with year-round performance. This tire outlasted three leading competitive tires by more than 25,000 miles on treadwear tests, delivering up to two extra years of reliable service.

Advanced Technology Features:

• EverTread 2.0 Compound: An abrasion-resistant tread compound that provides even more miles of tread life
